Thumbnail rendering fixes:
- Strip now tiles from each clip's true (unclamped) origin and draws only the
tiles intersecting the visible rect, so it scrolls correctly and shows the
right frames when a clip is scrolled partly off the left. Both render sites
(collapsed group + expanded track) share one draw_video_thumbnail_strip helper.
- On-clip strip no longer freezes on the first thumbnail: get_thumbnail_at now
returns the actual thumbnail timestamp and the GPU texture cache keys on it, so
tiles refresh as closer thumbnails finish generating.
- Hover preview derives content time from the clip's true origin too (matches the
strip when scrolled off-screen).
- insert_thumbnail keeps the cache sorted + deduped (fixes a latent unsorted
binary_search bug, and makes concurrent restore + resume race-safe).
Thumbnail persistence (mirrors waveform persistence):
- MediaKind::Thumbnail rows, keyed by thumbnail_media_id(clip_id) (clip id XOR a
sentinel). Each clip's thumbnails PNG-encoded into one opaque LBTN blob (editor
owns the format), snapshotted cheaply (Arc clones) and encoded off the UI thread.
- Save writes the packs (kept in place on re-save); load reads them into
LoadedProject.thumbnail_blobs; the editor decodes + inserts them on a background
thread, so reload shows thumbnails instantly with no re-decode (even if the
source video file is missing).
- Partial sets are persisted with a complete flag and RESUMED on load:
generate_keyframe_thumbnails takes a should_skip predicate so a save made
mid-generation continues from where it left off instead of redoing the work.

Migrate the .beam container to SQLite and stream media from it instead of
decoding whole files into RAM on import/load.
Container & large files:
- SQLite .beam container (beam_archive) with in-place transactional saves and an
incremental BlobReader; supports both packed (chunked blobs) and referenced
(external path) media, with a user preference + first-import prompt for files
over the large-media threshold.
Audio streaming:
- Stream packed compressed audio on load via an inversion-of-control blob factory
(AudioBlobSourceFactory): daw-backend defines the trait, core implements it
over BlobReader, so the audio engine stays container-agnostic.
- Bulk-activate disk streaming for all loaded clips after SetProject.
- Sample-accurate compressed seek (SeekMode::Accurate; Coarse mislands on VBR).
Video:
- Video frames decoded/streamed on demand; thumbnails generated asynchronously
on a dedicated decoder so import/load never blocks the UI.
- The video's audio track is streamed on demand via an ffmpeg VideoAudioReader
as a separate editable AudioClip (no /tmp WAV extraction).
Waveform overview:
- Streaming min/max LOD pyramid (waveform_pyramid), bounded memory, configurable
floor B; serialized into the container and restored on load (or generated in
the background from the packed blob when absent), so no re-decode on reload.
- GPU min/max upload path; integer-LOD textureLoad fixes zoom-dependent wobble.
- Scale the document to the selected output resolution. It was rendered
at document size regardless of the export dimensions, so picking a
different resolution didn't scale the stage.
- Run the audio+video mux on a background thread instead of the UI
thread, keeping the app responsive (showing "Finalizing") during the
re-mux pass.
- Send desktop notifications fire-and-forget. notify_rust's show() is a
synchronous D-Bus call that blocked the UI for the full service
activation timeout (~25s) when no notification daemon is running.
